“There was an attempt to revive terrorism but they can’t do that. There is no atmosphere of revival of terrorism or its ecosystem in Jammu. Hope the peaceful atmosphere will continue in the region,” he said.
Swain said that the success of the operations is an indication that the fight for elimination of terror in Jammu and Kashmir will reach its end.
“This is an indication that the security architecture and involvement of people is leading to the flow of human intelligence and this fight will be taken to its logical conclusion,” he added.
The DGP said that while isolated incidents have occurred, the ecosystem that once supported widespread terrorism in areas like Gandoh, Doda and Udhampur is no longer present which represents a major success in the broader fight against terrorism.
On the twin Kulgam security force operations in which six militants were killed, the DGP said the neutralisation of such a big number of terrorists was a major achievement.
“Undoubtedly, this is a big milestone in the efforts towards strengthening the security environment. These successes are very meaningful both substantively as well as in terms of messaging,” he said.
Swain said that so far six militants have been killed in twin encounters at Southern district of Kulgam while the operation was still at the one site. He termed the killings as a “milestone achievement.”
“So far, bodies of six terrorists have so far been recovered. There were two encounters at two separate places and operation at one of the sites was still on. The killing of six terrorists is obviously a milestone achievement,” he said.
“Since the operation is on at one place, it is not clear to which outfit the slain terrorists belonged to. There is a possibility of the presence of local terrorists as well. Once the operation will be fully over, we will be able to find out the identities and affiliation of slain terrorists,” he added.
He said with the successful operation in Kulgam followed by the active support of people, it seems that “we will be able to take this fight to its logical conclusion soon even though the enemy won’t stop from its activities.”
In the meantime, the militants killed in Chinigam encounter have been identified as Towheed Ahmad of Odura Mohenpora Kulgam, Zahid Ahmad of Dessun Behibagh Kulgam, Yawer Ahmad of Redawani Kulgam and Shakeel Ahmad of KB Pora Manzgan Kulgam and those killed at Modergham have been identified as Aadil Hussian Wani of Kutipora Shopian and Faisal Bashir Lone of Kanipora Shopian.
